Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a window for installation in a roof structure, comprising a frame with a top member, a bottom member and two side members mutually connected in corner joints, and a plurality of mounting brackets, where the side members and the top and bottom members of the frame in the mounted position of the window extend essentially parallel to rafter and batten elements, respectively, in the roof structure, and where each mounting bracket comprises a first leg portion for connection with an associated frame member and a second leg portion which is essentially perpendicular to the first leg portion and is to be fastened to the roof structure.
  • a window of this kind e.g. known from the international publication no WO-A-88/04348, is anchored in the roof structure in the way that a number, usually four or six, of fixing angles sectionally L-shaped are by one leg fastened to the side members of the frame, and the window is then mounted in the roof opening and fastened by the second leg by screws to the subjacent roof structure, the rafters or the battens.
  • the spacing between the battens and their positioning must be measured in order to avoid that a mounting bracket is placed opposite a cut batten end, when mounted on the subjacent roof structure, whether a rafter element or alternatively a counter batten situated parallel to and on said rafter element.
  • This measuring is an obvious source of error and can be the reason for considerable delays during mounting, as an erroneous measuring implies that the mounting bracket has to be removed after the window has been mounted in the roof opening.
  • this measuring is critical since the leg of the mounting bracket perpendicular to the frame side member must necessarily have a certain length in order to assure a good abutment against the roof structure and, depending on the distance between the windows, it may thus result in the mounting brackets on two adjacent frame side members of neighbouring windows not being placed opposite each other.
  • each mounting bracket is designed as a gusset, said first leg portion being formed as two leg sections essentially perpendicular to each other for connection with adjacent frame members at the joint hereof.
  • the desired simple mounting is obtained in the way that the window can easily be positioned correctly without previous measuring and without particular considerations to the spacing of the battens.
  • the window is put up in the roof opening with a mounting bracket provided at each frame corner joint and is placed on either continuous battens above or under the frame top and bottom members, respectively, or auxiliary batten pieces extending preferably parallel hereto and being positioned parallel to the other battens. Subsequently, the window is fastened to the roof structure by screwing mounting screws in the second leg portion of the mounting bracket through the batten element and down in the subjacent rafter structure.
  • the second leg portion of the mounting bracket is designed as two plate-shaped leg sections placed in one plane, each being perpendicular to and integrally connected with an associated leg section of the first leg portion.
  • the two leg sections of the second leg portion are preferably designed essentially symmetrically in relation to a bisecting plane for a corner joint of two adjacent frame members and with sides extending parallel to the associated frame member.
  • this embodiment entails that the mounting of more windows beside or above each other can take place in a simple and advantageous manner.
  • leg sections are essentially shaped as parallelograms, in which the mounting bracket seen from above is arrow-headed.
  • This further entails an advantage as to production technique and storage, because several mounting brackets can be produced from a strip material blank and, having been folded to form the two leg portions, can be piled one on top of the other.
  • the frame has, at least in an area at the corner joint between two adjacent frame members, a groove extending in the longitudinal direction of each frame member, and in the end opposite in relation to the second leg portion, the mounting bracket is provided with a flange perpendicular to each leg section of said first leg portion to be inserted in said groove.
  • engagement means are provided at each lateral edge of the leg section of the second leg portion for connection with the mounting bracket of a neighbouring window, whereby the mounting and aligning work of thus situated windows is considerably facilitated.
  • These engagement means are preferably designed as at least one projection-recess pair.
  • the mounting bracket is appropriately provided with at least one partially punched flap which, in the mounted position, is folded in the direction towards the roof structure.
  • This flap marks the distance to a batten element above and below, respectively, the top and bottom member of the frame such that e.g. a plate of insulating material can be inserted between the frame and the roof structure.
  • a window 1 is shown in a mounted position in a pitched roof structure comprising rafters 2 extending in the direction of the roof pitch and battens 3 placed perpendicular hereto.
  • battens 3 placed perpendicular hereto.
  • only the exterior frame of the window 1 is shown with two side members 4, 5 extending parallel to the rafters 2 and a top member 6 and a bottom member 7 extending parallel to the battens.
  • An auxiliary batten 8 is placed above the last continuous batten 3 below the bottom member 7, just as an auxiliary batten 9 has been placed above the top member 6.
  • At least the lower auxiliary batten is placed at an appropriate distance from the nearest continuous roof batten in order to give way to positioning of the roofing material in such a way that the flashing can subsequently be placed in a satisfactory way, preferably without having to adapt it by an irregular deformation in order to obtain a secure waterproof flashing.
  • the frame members 4-7 are connected with each other in corner joints, by which the frame via mounting brackets 10 is anchored in the roof structure in that screws (not shown) are led through the auxiliary battens 8, 9 and further down in the subjacent rafters 2.
  • Figs. 2-6 are shown different embodiments of such a bracket. Parts with identical or analogue functions will all have same reference numbers when the various embodiments are described.
  • the mounting bracket 10 is designed as a symmetrical gusset with a plane of symmetry corresponding to the bisecting plane of the corner joints.
  • the bracket 10 has a first leg portion 11 consisting of two rectangular leg sections 11a, 11b meant to be fastened to e.g. the frame bottom member 7 and the side member 5, respectively.
  • Two plate-shaped leg sections 12a, 12b extend perpendicular to the leg sections 11a, 11b, and form together a second leg portion 12 which is meant, in a mounted position, for abutment against the top side of a batten 3 or, as indicated in Fig. 1, preferably against the lower or upper auxiliary batten 8 or 9.
  • the leg sections 12a, 12b are essentially shaped as parallelograms such that the mounting bracket 10 seen from above is arrow-headed where the head points away from the corner joints of the frame, as it appears from Fig. 1.
  • a flange 13a, 13b extends perpendicular to each leg section of the first leg portion 11, only one flange 13a being shown in Fig. 2.
  • the flanges 13a, 13b are meant for insertion in grooves in the frame members which can be provided either with one circular groove, with more circular grooves in different heights on the frame or with grooves which are only provided at the corner joints themselves.
  • FIG. 3 A further embodiment of the mounting bracket is shown in Figs. 3 and 4. Only differences in relation the above-stated embodiment are described in details.
  • the flange 13b can at its end facing away from the plane of symmetry be provided with a flap 13c which has been folded downwards in an angle of preferably 45° around the dashed folding line 13d.
  • Fig. 5 shows a step during manufacturing of a mounting bracket 10 according to the invention. From a strip material blank shown in Fig. 6 and comprising four future mounting brackets, the various details of the finished mounting bracket are punched, i.e. the flap 14, the fastening holes 15, engagement means 16, 17 and further engagement means 19, 20 together with a slot 21 forming the dividing line between the two leg sections 11a and 11b in the first leg portion.
